Stream of . . .

Phone call. Hesitated answering, but did. Listened and asked questions...

Still taking it in, digesting it and sorting out the stuff inside.

Before this, was getting quite comfortable with the way life was going, but now... ambivalent...rather now in the process of sorting things out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On this cold, moist Christmas morning, I sit drinking coffee in a see-through glass mug. No one home, but for the snoring dog wrapped in a bundle of blankets in her pet bed and myself...

I love still moments like this.
Let the mind simmer and stew.

Thoughts on the coming weeks:

Brother and sis-in-law will be over later today.
Snowboarding Day trip to Tahoe tomorrow.
A road trip to Arizona in the works.

I'll need to run a few miles tonite, and find a gym in AZ to train in, if I do go there.

Oh snap! maybe I should-N'T go Snowboarding in Tahoe 2mrrw...Hmm... maybe better idea to rest ankle and do some light sparring instead... hmm... gotta think about that.

When training for a fight...your world revolves around TRAINING, DIET and REST. Fun is replaced with focus and self-discipline...well, fun is still there just in a different form-- trying out a new combination, playing with footwork, trying out "trick" strikes, changing rhythms...

Self discipline:

At my family's Christmas party last night, I ate in moderation and had just one glass of wine. Normally I would be eating (a lot), drinking (a lot more) and being merry!

Watching and playing with my many, many nieces and nephews second cousins, my cousins' kids) and being with my HUGE family, THAT is enjoyable in itself. fun fun fun.

ah well.


And what's my point? None, just sitting sipping my coffee in a translucent cup and taking life as it comes on a slow day like this,


and woah! out of no where hail is pelting the window like a million BB's tap tap tapping. wow. in a matter of minutes our red wooden deck i see out from my window... the red is now white with fallen hail.

anyway... peace to you and yours.
